How to drink tea

All around the world，people drink tea．But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone．

In China，for example，tea is always served（招待）when people get together．The Chinese drink

it at any time of day at homes or in teahouse．They prefer their tea plain，with nothing else in it．

　　Tea is also important in Japan．The Japanese have a special（特别的）way of serving tea called a tea ceremony（仪式）．It is very old and full of meaning．Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony．There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes．

　　Another tea—drinking country is England．In England，the late afternoon is ‘‘tea time”．Almost everyone has a cup of tea then．The English usually make tea in tea-port and drink it with cream and sugar．They also eat cakes，cookies and little sandwiches at teatime．

　　Different people have different ways of drinking tea．

　　In many English homes， people eat four meals every day: breakfast， lunch，tea，and dinner. People have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat porridge(粥)， eggs or bread. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o’clock. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon ， and dinner is at half past seven. First they have soup（汤）， then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that， they eat some other things， like bananas， apples or oranges. But not all English people like that. Some of them have dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast， dinner， tea and supper and all these meals are very simple.
